Savannah Hardin, a 9-year-old girl from Alabama, died after being forced to run nonstop for 3 hours by her grandmother. An autopsy report showed that Savannah was extremely dehydrated and showed low levels of sodium. Savannah was forced to run because she had lied to her grandmother about eating a candy bar. The punishment was all her grandmother's idea and her stepmother did nothing to stop the cruel punishment that was taking place; that is why they are both being charged for the crime. They are currently being held in the Etowah County Detention Center and both with a 500,000 cash bond. Neighbors say that Savannah hardly ever played outside like the rest of the children in the neighborhood. Detectives suspect that Savannah might had already been maltreatment by her family before this incident. I hope this crime goes unpunished and the criminal justice system can give some justice for the rest of Savannah's family members that loved her. I hope they incarcerate her grandmother and stepmother for the rest of their lives.
